Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0895224A2] Speech recognition technology has attained maturity such that the most likely speech recognition result has been reached and is available before an energy based termination of speech has been made. The present invention innovatively uses the rapidly available speech recognition results to provide intelligent barge-in for voice-response systems and, to count words to output sub-sequences to provide paralleling and/or pipelining of tasks related to the entire word sequence to increase processing throughput. <IMAGE>
